The Team

Jennifer Williams

Creative Projects Manager at EFI and a poet.

I help the Edinburgh Futures Institute by managing a portfolio of creative projects that connect our work to the wider communities within the University of Edinburgh and beyond its walls, including student exhibitions, Utopia Lab and beautiful endeavours like Recycling a Hospital.

Jimmy Turner

Research Fellow at Binks Hub and a woodworking artist.

I am an interdisciplinary researcher with a background in Anthropology and Gender Studies, working as a Research Fellow for the Binks Hub at the University of Edinburgh. In recent years my focus has been drawn to use of artistic and creative methods and practices, leading me to explore ways to bring my own artistic practices in woodworking into conversation with my professional activities.

Gintare Kulyte

Creative Projects Intern at EFI and a photographer.

I am a final year student of Sociology and Psychology here at the University of Edinburgh. In my role of Creative Projects Intern I support the delivery of the creative projects at EFI. I am also a photography enthusiast and will contribute to this project by documenting it in pictures.

Ekaterina Shurkova

Teaching Fellow in Psychology, facilitator at Symbolic Space.

As a cognitive neuroscientist, I am interested in how we connect with the world: how we learn, play, communicate, solve problems, and change our mind. My research interests lie in creative problem solving and seeing the world in terms of relations. The most intriguing topic for me is the role of symbols, metaphors, and an awareness of space around us in our growth and problem solving. I am interested in research on the mind and the brain, as well as in studies on animism, ritual, and ceremony. I currently work as a Teaching Fellow at the Department of Psychology and run a private coaching practice, Symbolic Space.
